Installing to Heroku fails

[jayd3e]

Installing to Heroku fails sometimes, b/c simply running any setuptools command requires requests to be installed. This is due to the fact that the version is obtained from here. Here is an example of the error message that you would receive if experiencing this error:

       Obtaining python-firebase from git+git://github.com/jayd3e/python-firebase.git#egg=python_firebase (from -r requirements.txt (line 42))
         Cloning git://github.com/jayd3e/python-firebase.git to ./.heroku/src/python-firebase
         Running setup.py egg_info for package python-firebase

Hi @jayd3e ,

Do you found a workaround for this? I too am facing the same issue while deploying to heroku

[adambratt]

I'm also having this issue. I use Chef to automate deployment and it tries to install all the python packages at once. Out of 50+ packages python-firebase is the only one that has this type of dependency issue in its setup.py.

[jayd3e]

Yeah I just forked it https://github.com/jayd3e/python-firebase. Completely forgot about this, will try to get a pull request made asap.

@jayd3e that'd be awesome
